Fall

If your houseplants have been enjoying the summer outdoors, now is your best chance to get them ready before you move them back into the house. This means:

check them for pests and apply a Neem spray if necessary
plants that have become root bound will enjoy a larger sized pot. Don’t go too big, just enough for their roots to comfortably fit. Add new soil.
not all plants have to come back inside, some can head to the compost pile. If you’re emotionally attached and they still have a few healthy leaves or stems, take cuttings to propagate and toss the rest.

If you’re in need of new containers for your houseplants, take a look at our Bergs pottery selection. They look beautiful and can last a lifetime. If you need new houseplants for yourself or as a gift, we have plenty of those, too.

Are you interested in growing your own gifts for the holidays, for teachers, for hosts, for office friends? If so, now is a great time to propagate succulents, spider plants or hedera and put them in cute pots. It is fun to organize a little indoor gardening / nursery set up and watch them grow, especially if you have kids around. You can leave the plants outside for now, but bring them in as night time temps dip into the lower 50’s. Don’t know how to propagate these plants? Come in and we will show you how. Please note, that some plants are trademarked and it is not actually legal to propagate them. The ones we are recommending here do not fall in that category.
